Re: If you could get free mulch would you?
Go for the mulch, one can never have too much. As Chris in Tampa says, create a forest floor. Read some of his posts. Bugs bothering you, well save some coins and plant basil around everything that you don't want bugs. Basil is one but there are many that will repel insects, lavender, rosemary, thyme, etc. Much less expensive and side benefit of being a very good herb for the kitchen. Many gardeners use different methods of repelling unwanted pests. Fish emulsion is good for turning some pests that find their food by smell. I may be a bit smelly for you for a little while but it does the trick. Good luck just keep looking for alternative solutions and get good results with less expenditure.
